I have a little miniproject since summer 2017. My home-built server.
The server is in Germany (Hamburg).
So pay attention to your ping and do not be surprised if you are in Australia

It runs a job every 5min in the background and checks the online availability. Should a server fail, it will be restarted directly and it can be further built, where stopped. (this has never happened before)
In addition, once a day for updates are searched for and automatically installed. Thus, it never happens that an update is released and there is no available server except mine!
Every week a new map is generated (reset!). You will also receive this information on my homepage when the server reboots.

Currently running 5 Factorio servers with an anti-grief, ranking and many extras. (no mods! only scripts)
All servers are vanilla!
